7. Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. An Entire Mall (Commando, 1985)

No list honoring action films would be complete without at least one entry dedicated to Austria’s greatest export, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The man may have created classic blockbusters, but his greatest cinematic achievements were his silliest. In the '80s, Arnold specialized in action trash with bad writing, great action and an inexplicably charismatic lead. Commando might be his finest and most ridiculous film from that era, and Schwarzenegger fights simply don’t get more absurdly delightful than this mall-destroying brawl. Arnie pulls pay phones (containing people) out of walls at will, brushes off a dozen security guards without breaking a sweat, swings on an inflatable tube and gets the girl. The scene (and Commando as a whole) is pure cheesy '80s action bliss.
